In college I did a sociology social experiment where I spent a few days on the street trying to blend into the local homeless culture, hoping to understand it better through proximity and firsthand experience. I lived in china for 3 years, and I wish this idea would have occurred to me then. I did have tons of chinese friends and got close to the culture in many ways, but never did i have the real "chinese" experience, as you've described here. Bravo! This is so cool.

It was good to see your posts. This seems to be a largely ignored and misunderstood sector of chinese society, both by foreigners and the chinese themselves.I have noticed a lot of predjuces from other chinese against guys that work at salons,they are really looked down upon. I myself have a lot of experience with chinese babershops. I used to hangout at the neighborhood salon for 6 hours everyday just chilling with the guys. It is also where I met my boyfriend of two years. There are a lot of quirks that go along with the job, and these guys definately have something about them that makes them stand out. Your blog really gave some insight into the lives of these guys, and I hope many more people will get the chance to read it. These guys work really hard and deserve more respect. ... Also I would be interested in hearing your views on how the guys deal with girlfriends, and customers. This kind of job can be really hard on a realtionships, and the guys can get into some shady relationships with customers pretty easily.
